SACHET HOLDER Filed Oct. 22, 1948 Floyd Logue Patented May 29,- 1951UNITED STATES .()FF[(1E SACHET HULDER V Floyd Logue, shelbyvill fi l...7 Application October 22, 1948SerialN55917 1 1 Claim.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements and structuralrefinement in holders for sachets, and the principal object of theinvention is to provide a holder for a plurality of difierentlyfragranted sachets, together with means for selectively and individuallyexposing the different sachets for scent radiation.

This object is achieved by the provision of a holder including areceptacle having a, plurality of compartments each accommodatin asachet of a different fragrance, and an important feature of theinvention involves the provision of a rotatable cover on thisreceptacle, matters being so arranged that upon rotation of the cover,the various sachets may be selectively and individually exposed forscent radiation, as aforesaid.

Another feature of the invention resides in the provision of means forretaining the sachets in their respective compartments, while a furtherfeature lies in the provision of means for attaching the holder tosuitable supporting structure, such as for example, clothing, and thelike.

Some of the advantages of the invention reside in its simplicity ofconstruction, in its pleasing yet simple appearance, and in itsadaptability to economical manufacture.

With the above more important objects and features in view and suchother objects and features as may become apparent as this specificationproceeds, the invention consists essentially of the construction andarrangement of parts as shown in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a front perspective view of the invention;

Figure 2 is a rear perspective view thereof;

Figure 3 is a group perspective view showing the receptacle separatedfrom its cover, and;

Figure 4 is a transverse cross sectional view of the invention.

Like characters of reference are employed to designate like parts in thespecification and throughout the several views.

Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, the inventionconsists of a sachet holder designated generally by the referencecharacter I 0, the same embodying in its construction a substantiallycircular receptacle l2 including a peripheral wall M, the receptacle l2being provided with a plurality of radially extending partitions l6separating it into a plurality of sachet receiving compartments l8, aswill be clearly apparent.

The receptacle I2 is provided with a somewhat conveXo-concave cover 20which, in turn, is equipped with a peripheral flange 22, and it is 2 tobe noted that the cover 20 is rotatably and removably positionable onthe receptacle I2 with the flange 22 slidably engaging the peripheralwall 14 of the receptacle, as is best shown in Figure 4.

The peripheral wall I4 is provided with a plurality of opening 24 eachcommunicating with one of the compartments l-8, while the flange 22 ofthe cover 20 is formed with a recess 26, best shown in Figure 3. Theportions of the peripheral lwall l4 between the adjacent openings 24 aresomewhat greater in length than the recess 26, so that by simplyrotating the cover '20 on the receptacle [2, the recess 26 may bebrought in register selectively and individually with the variousopenings 24 and with the respective compartments with which theseopenings communicate, as will be clearly apparent. By virtue of thisarrangement, when the invention is placed in use sachets of differentfragrance may be placed in the various compartments and by simplyrotating the cover as aforesaid, a, sachet of the desired fragrance maybe selected to exclusively radiate its scent. Moreover, by rotating thecover 20 so that the recess 26 does not register with any one of theopenings 24, the openings of all the compartments are closed and theradiation of fragrance from the sachets is not permitted.

In order to prevent the sachets in the different compartments fromrubbing against the flange 22 while the cover 20 is rotated, a plurality0f upstanding keeper pins 21 may be se cured to the receptacle l2 in theopenings 24, substantially as shown.

Moreover, in order to facilitate attachment of the entire holder tosuitablesupporting structure, such as for example, clothing, or thelike, the back surface of the receptacle l2 may be equipped with aresilient clip, such as is indicated at 28 in Figure 2.

It is believed that the advantages and use of the invention will beclearly apparent from the foregoing disclosure and accordingly, furtherdescription thereof at this point is deemed unnecessary.

While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferredembodiment of this invention it is to be understood that minor changesin the details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts maybe resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of theinvention as claimed.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

A sachet holder comprising circular receptacle having a bottom and aplurality of circumferentially spaced arcuate side wall portionsextending upwardly from said bottom, a plurality of partitions providedon said bottom and extending radially from the center thereof to themidpoints of the respective sidewall portions whereby to separate saidreceptacle into a plurality of sector-shaped sachet receivingcompartments each bordered at its outer edge by halves of adjacent sidewall portions defining an elongated opening between their spacedopposing edges, an armate row of spaced sachet retaining pins secured tosaid bottom and extending upwardly in the opening of each compartment,and a circular cover rotatably positioned on said receptacle andincluding a top and a depending marginal flange slidablecircumferentially on the (outer surfaces of said side wall portions andsachet retaining pins, said flange being provided with an elongatedrecess registerable selectively with the openings of the respectivecompartments by the rotation of said cover.
